1). Mulching Benefits / Organic And Inorganic Mulch Types By : Francis Kilkelly

This loose covering is called a mulch and it can be either of an organic or inorganic variety. Examples of mulches include compost, stone and grass clippings.

2). Organic Gardening - The Pros And Cons By : Judith Schwader
Picture three ripe red tomatoes arranged on a wooden cutting board awaiting your pleasure. They've each come from a different source: can you tell which one was grown organically?
Two of the tomatoes were lovingly tended in backyards - one in a conventional garden and the other in an organic garden. The third tomato came from the supermarket, and it's easy to eliminate from the guessing game.

It’s the dreaded Child Split Personality Syndrome – you’ve witnessed it but are you aware that you could possibly be the culprit of it all?! Unknowingly of course.

6). What is Ethical Fashion Shopping? By : GuideMeGreen
But you can by shopping in an Ethical way. Put simply, this is buying things that are made ethically by companies that act ethically. Buying ethically means buying a brand or from a company which doesn’t exploit labour, animals or the environment. The way in which you can act as an 'ethical consumer' can also take on a different form and that is avoiding products (also known as boycotting) you disapprove of such as battery eggs.

9). Recycling Resolutions By : Dawn Burden Bates
Happy New Year!
It's not too late to make your recycling resolutions.
The holidays are finally over and we can all hopefully begin slowing down and getting our lives back to normal.
If your home is like mine, the holidays left you with a huge mess. Empty boxes and torn wrapping paper litter the floor after the kids excitedly open their gifts. It's so tempting to gather it all up and through it in the outside garbage bin.

10). Whats Cool About Coconuts By : edwin geronimo
A switch to a raw, vegan, natural foods lifestyle requires a little creativity and a lot of getting used to. It may feel at first as if we are giving up more than we are gaining.
When I became a 'raw dude' I expanded my tastes by experimenting and trying different foods that I previously paid little or no attention to. One of these newfound treasures was coconut.

11). How To Grow Your Own Organic Worms – Your Silent Workforce By : Julie Williams
The main work worms do in your garden is tilling and aerating the soil. They burrow very deep, leaving channels through the soil that break up clods and allow air to enter and water to penetrate and drain away.
In the process of eating at the surface and eliminating lower down, they introduce organic matter to the deeper levels and steadily increase the depth of topsoil.

12). What is the Rain Forest? By : Francesca Black
Copyright 2006 Francesca Black
One and one-half acres of rain forest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries. Rain forests are being destroyed because the value of rain forest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by shortsighted governments, multinational logging companies, and land owners.

14). You Can Recover From Chemical Sensitivities And Allergies By : Beverly Hartsfield
I used to have severe reactions to fragrances and many other chemicals in our air. I was practically allergic to everything, including lots of foods and pollen. For a while there, I was housebound.
First, I bought an air purifier that had a filter made with coconut shell carbon and zeolite. It helped dramatically. I filtered my water for drinking and bathing too.

16). Hemp and Legal Implications By : Francesca Black
Copyright 2006 Francesca Black
In 1619 Jamestown Colony, Virginia enacted laws ordering farmers to grow hemp. Similar laws were enacted in Massachusetts in 1631, Connecticut in 1632 and the Chesapeake Colonies in the mid-1700's.
Even though the U.S. government encouraged American farmers to grow hemp for WWII and had even accepted it as payment of taxes in Colonial America, it is now prohibited to grow hemp in the United States.

18). 7 Reasons to grow your own organic vegetable garden By : Cristina Diaz
During the last decades there has been a change towards mechanization and homogenization of farming, which uses pesticides, additives, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers and mass-production techniques. All this is clearly affecting mankind's health, and new diseases are spreading rapidly amongst humans and animals (bird's flu being the most recent one).

20). Organic Gardening - A Growing Trend By : Judith Schwader
In the past decade and a half, organic products have achieved almost mainstream status. Where organic produce was a specialty item in a few upscale grocery stores in the early 1990s, today's supermarkets commonly offer organically produced items.
An upward spiral is happening: Organics have become more available and more affordable. The result is that a larger proportion of the population buys organics.

21). What Organic Really Means By : Fran Black
The word "organic" may appear on packages of meat, cartons of milk or eggs, cheese and other single-ingredient foods. Certified organic requires the rejection of synthetic agrochemicals, irradiation and genetically engineered foods or ingredients. Literally, of course, the term is a redundancy: all food is composed of organic chemicals (complex chemicals containing carbon).

23). Organic Gardening: 10 Practical Steps By : Gwen Nyhus Stewart
“Organic gardening is not just the avoidance of chemicals, in the larger view, it is organic living using nature’s laws.” I read this quote by an unknown person sometime ago and realized that my parents and others like them were organic gardeners long before the current resurrection of these principles. They didn’t use chemicals on the food they would feed to their children and gardening was a part of daily living to ensure there was sufficient food to preserve for the long winters.
